Entity/Regulation
International customers: MYFX Markets, the trading name of AXIS INC., will be the counterparty for all account opened by customers globally. This entity is registered in the Saint Vincent & the Grenadines as an International Business Company, under licence number 24078IBC2017, but not regulated by the nation island Financial Services Authority (FSA).
Client Money Protection
- MYFX Markets complies with the highest safety standards for client's funds. For this reason, MYFX Markets client's funds are kept in top-tier international banks, fully segregated from the company's funds.
- MYFX Markets also complies with the client money handling rules and employs strict policies and procedures regarding the maintenance and operation of these accounts. MYFX Markets holds client's money separately to the company funds and does not use these funds for any operational expenses or purposes.
Deposit Compensation Scheme
MYFX Markets does not offer a client's deposit compensation scheme, as the broker is not regulated by any tier-1 Financial Authority overseeing an Investor Compensation Fund. Therefore, if MYFX Markets is unable to meet its financial obligations, or in case of bankruptcy, clients will not be entitled to any financial compensation.
Negative Balance Protection
MYFX Markets does not offer Negative Balance Protection, for the sake of no negative balance. Without NBP, MYFX Markets' customers are not protected from any losses bigger than their original investments, in cases of extreme market volatility.

Pricing
3.0
| Pricing/ Account |
Standard | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Spread EUR/USD | from 1.0 pip | from 0.0 pip |
| Commissions (1 lot) | ❌ | from 7 USD |
| Minimum Deposit | from 200 USD | from 1,000 USD |
Spreads
MYFX Markets spreads are not the most competitive in the market, especially for the entry-level account, the Standard. For the most traded pair, the EUR/USD, the cost starts at 0.6 pip, with an average spread of 1.3 pip, without commissions. We consider this value slightly higher when compared with other brokers. On the positive side, with an ECN modelling account, the Pro account, the EUR/USD starting spread is 0.0 pip (typically 0.5 pip).
To access the better trading conditions of the ECN modelling account (lower spreads), the cost is a broker commission. With the ECN modelling account, for the EUR/USD, the standard lot commission for 1 lot (100,000 units) is 7 USD (3.5 USD per lot and per side). We consider this commission to be quite in line with other top brokers.

Rollover Rates
Regarding swap rates, MYFX Markets does not publish, or let any third-party software publish them on their behalf. As the broker states on their website "You can access our real-time swap rates through the MT4 trading platform." Therefore, the only way to find out the current rollover rates with MYFX Markets is by opening an account (demo or real). In this case we can't compare MYFX Markets with other brokers to see if holding a 1 lot EUR/USD, long or short, is cheaper or more expensive.
Deposits/Withdrawals and Other Fees
- Deposit fees - Trading accounts can be opened in only 3 different currencies and maintained via 5 different funding methods, including cards, bank wires and e-payments such as Sticpay and Bitwallet and Bitcoin via Bitpay. Deposits are available within 10 minutes on the trading account. MYFX Markets does not charge any fees for deposits.
- Withdrawals fees - Effect from October 1st, 2016, MYFX Markets covers all credit card fees. There is no fee for credit card withdrawal but a 25 USD/AUD withdrawal fee per transaction for bank transfer withdrawals. For more information, please visit the MYFX Markets deposit and withdrawals dedicated page.
- Inactivity fee - MYFX Markets does not state whether it charges or not an inactivity fee or any other account maintenance fees.

Opened for business in 2013, MYFX Markets is a Forex broker that seems to fail in capturing the attention of new traders, as it's popularity is just average. Let's start with the not so popular side:
MYFX Markets overall trading costs are slightly higher when compared with other FX brokers; the spreads are not very competitive, plus, traders will have to pay fees for bank withdrawals. Also on the negative side, the lack of MYFX Markets educational material to help new traders in this highly-volatile market. The broker doesn't offer anything regarding education, not even the standard webinars or a weekly market outlook.
- Trading accounts - Regarding trading accounts, we consider the MYFX Markets Pro account to be the best-value. This account is also a popular choice with traders looking for reduced trading costs and considered the best option based on the lower spread and an average commission of $7.00 per lot traded.
- Forex education - MYFX Markets does not offer educational materials and loses some popularity points for that.
| Funding Methods | Bank Wire, Cards, Bitcoin, Sticpay, Bitwallet |

| Support Languages | Chinese, English, Japanese |
- Minimum deposit - Opening a trading account with MYFX Markets it's easy and can be done via the website. MYFX Markets minimum deposit requirement is 200 USD for the Standard account. For the Pro account the minimum deposit requirement is 1,000 USD.
- Customer support - MYFX Markets multi language customer support service is available 24 hours, 5 days a week, in 3 languages. MYFX Markets support is available via phone call, email and also live chat, available directly from their website.

Also on the downside, the very limited offering of trading assets, the uncompetitive pricing of the Standard account, trading available only via the MT4 platform and the lack of Forex educational materials available, are all ingredients that penalize the broker's cumulative rating.
